Looking for Jack

(Lyrics: Colin Hay, Music: Colin Hay & Jeremy Alsop)



Everybody's always looking for Jack 

In the fire and in the water 

Everybody's always looking for Jack 

In the streets and on the corners



I always wanted to be like Jack 

He's as cool as they come 

Yeah I always wanted to be like Jack 

Still for me, he's the one



Someday...Someday... 



Someday...Someday...



Hear the wind blow through the long grass 

I hear laughter in the night 

No revelations as the years pass 

They disappear from sight



As I grow older I grow younger 

Every day is like a dream 

I wouldn't go back for a moment 

Except for maybe seventeen



Someday...Someday... 



Someday...Someday...



Everybody's always looking for Jack 

In the fire and in the water 

Everybody's always looking for Jack 

In the streets and on the corners



Even Jack is always looking for Jack 

He's always in another room 

And when I spoke to the woman there 

She said he left this afternoon



Someday...Someday….
